Yesterday


Oh…my, what a day it was,
A day full of chaos,
Sans a valid cause…
Giving no time for me to pause…
Oh…my, what a day it was…

Morn began a day of flaws…
With Jim, not finding his report for class;
With Tim, in his shirt full of tomato sauce;
And the family car smiling, nearly out of gas!!

Hoping that noon would smoothly pass…
I sat at my desk, feigning hearing loss…
Lo, there he was, my not-so-nice boss…
Standing & peering with his magnifying glass…
Apparently someone had put in a clause!!

Now was the meeting with this sassy lass;
Who made it a point to simply harass;
Which put me at a place, I couldn't get across;
For there was the sign, 'Not to trespass'…
Oh….my, what a day it was…

Followed this, a call from my in-laws;
With phony words of cheer & loud applause;
All this,I learnt, was surely because….
Soon I'd become their Santa Claus!!

By the time this ended, I was so cross…
Jumped into bed, only to turn and to toss…
Oh…..my, what a day it was…

Nice poem!  I found it amusing, and could relate to it -- it might be viewed as a mother's version of that excellent children's book, "It Was a Terrible, Awful, No Good Day!"

Best wishes,

Glenn Logan
